A coalition of 20 states, including California, filed a lawsuit Tuesday to prevent the Trump administration from dramatically changing a housing program that would “illegally upending supports for tens of thousands of Americans experiencing homelessness.”
It accused U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development of changing its Continuum of Care grant program “in violation of congressional intent” by reducing the amount of grant funds that can be spent on permanent housing and putting “new unlawful conditions on access to the funding.”
Among those conditions is that local authorities recognize only two genders.
“This Administration continues to punch down by targeting the most vulnerable Americans, and unfortunately this most recent attack on homeless individuals is consistent with their modus operandi,” Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha said in a statement. “If allowed, these cuts and conditions would further exacerbate already dire conditions for homeless Rhode Islanders.”
A spokesperson for HUD did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
